However, his exams were nearing, so he had to concentrate more on his textbook now. He and his friends planned a group study to help each other.
He opened his maths textbook and began to do some sums. “I can solve only one problem," Saurabh grimaced.
"All the sums are so tough," cried Vipul.
"I think I need to practise maths more. My reasoning and analytical thinking are poor," Saurabh moaned.
Mita saw their sullen faces and smiled at them.
"First of all, don't be disheartened. Let me help you with the sums," Mita said.
After an hour of continuous practice, Saurabh was able to solve a few sums and finally relaxed a bit. The next day he went through the social science syllabus, but the words went over his head.
He went to his sister, Leela.
"Can you give me some tips on studying social science?" he asked.
"You can prepare notes of important topics for quick revision. You can also note down historical dates and events memorise," she suggested.
"Let me help you with a few chapters but I need a favour. What do you say Leela asked.
"Anything for explaining this chapter," he said.
"I need a reference book for my study. Can you please get it for me from the library?" she asked.
"Sure, I will," promised Saurabh.
Leela explained the chapters, and finally, they took a break for lunch.
After lunch, Saurabh went to the library. Mr Shetty, the librarian, peered through his glasses.
